fuel and vacuum will get addressed when needed

Thanks, I feel much better now.
I was envisioning back to the days of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer...
Too many hoses to replace on that one.

Sometimes I have to change my brand new Air Filter after just one weekend.
(when I'm tailgunner and eat dust all days)

Keep an eye on if dust makes it past the air filter into the air intake.

The yellow FRAM TGA7440 Tough Guard have been good to me.

Today, I did the hatch strut modification.
I was tired of that hatch taking its sweet time to open,
and being too low when fully open (I hit it with my head sometimes).

Our Xterra buddies have a choice of 150lbs or 175lbs (good with a ladder bolted on tailgate) struts from McMaster Carr.

I've ...

I can confirm that the Armada swap in the rear is possible.

Yep, I have been reading your content multiple times.
Thanks a lot for the time you put in to document your trials.

Did you know they now make suspension bushings for the US models?

I am not clear on one thing.
The pics u showed in the beginning of thread.
Did u already do the Titan swap up front or are just considering it?

I (Well, Greg from PRG) already did the Titan Swap on my Xterra (not on the Pathfinder).

I am not considering that kind of Titan swap anymore for the ...

How much of a pain was it to replace all hoses? Did you use aftermarket, OEM or Silicon? Since you said “all hoses”, that means the heater hoses too? and vacuum hoses (if any). Fuel hoses?

What could be done?

Instead of relying on longer arms, a longer shock could provide more travel.

To enable extended shocks, one could take inspiration from the PRG 5" lift kit for Armada:

Comparing the Armada rear suspension vs the Pathfinder:

A very reputed suspension expert in California has suggested that the path to improve the Pathfinder rear suspension is to perform a complete rear subframe swap from an Armada.

I've found multiple references that the stock Pathfinder is doing worse than expected off-road:

What is a Titan Swap?

There are multiple versions of it depending on which parts of the Titan Full-Size Pickup you use.

The nice about Nissan is that all 5 cousins - the 3 midsize: Frontier, Xterra & Pathfinder - and - the 3 full-size: Titan, Armada & QX56/QX80 - are all based on the same F-Alpha ...

Hello,

You all know the Titan Swap which improves the front-end suspension.

What if one could take parts from the rear of the Armada and improve the rear of the Pathfinder?

Or maybe I could just have my leather red dyed?

Or maybe you could do it yourself?

I saw that the BMW folks do that often:

BMW 328i Black to Red leather
